Upon discovering my lola’s (grandmother’s) recipes a long time ago, I have never tried them until this past weekend.
Yes, I’ve been on a cooking frenzy. Ever since I successfully cooked sweet and sour pork, I went to cooking another batch of sinigang (sour soup), and then I went and made some lumpia shanghai (beef/pork egg roll).
I must say they turned out good, but Lucien keeps saying that I shouldn’t be too technical in following recipes. Yeah, yeah. He’s the cook of the family, so he knows what he’s talking about. I have to follow recipes, or else I would burn the house down. You know how some people don’t have a green thumb? That’s how I am with cooking. And yeah, I don’t have a green thumb, either.
Anyways, I think I’ll make some longganisang hubad (skinless sausage) tonight. Thank God for Asian stores! :)
I Have Cramps 
I made tinola for dinner tonight! Wee!
Have fun with your cookfest! My mom used to say, cook from the heart and you’ll never go wrong! [goes to show where i got my cheesey-ness— hehe!]
And yeah, I’m not a green thumb either…my house plants aren’t looking too healthy anymore…
It’s actually your fault that I’m cooking lately. Naganahan ako when I saw that picture of your sotanghon. :P
lol!!! Vern has a green thumb. I don’t. No way. I like to enjoy plants and weeds in their natural state as the very white thumbs I was born with will attest to.
As for the food, oh, that just sounds wonderful. Would have loved to have been there begging like a little dog :)
Well, you definitely need to come over for dinner soon. :D
Leiza, I swear, I am gonna make it to Texas some time. There are parts of the US I really, really want to see.
